2408f & 2404f PROFIBUS Communications Handbook Introduction CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This handbook is written for people who need to use a digital communications link and PROFIBUS-DP communication protocols to supervise Eurotherm Controls Series 2000 instruments. The PROFIBUS-DP protocol is supported by Eurotherm instruments carrying the suffix f in their order codes. Specifically 2408f and 2404f cont

Introduction 2408f & 2404f PROFIBUS Communications Handbook PROFIBUS-DP is a multimaster, master-slave, token passing network. More detailed information, including a detailed guide to products available, may be obtained from the various world wide PROFIBUS user organisations. You will find contact information in trade magazines or by reference to http://www.profibus.com on the World Wide Web. PROFIBUS is av

2408f & 2404f PROFIBUS Communications Handbook Principles of Operation CHAPTER 2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION PROFIBUS-DP distinguishes between master devices and slave devices. It allows slave devices to be connected on a single bus thus eliminating considerable plant wiring typical with conventional communications systems. Figure 2-1 compares the two systems. Master devices determine the data communication on the bus. A

Principles of Operation 2408f & 2404f PROFIBUS Communications Handbook Typically no more than 32 bytes of input data and 32 bytes of output data are exchanged for each device during the data exchange. Some PLC masters allow no more than this, although the PROFIBUS-DP standard provides the possibility of transferring 236 bytes in each direction. The input and output data lengths for a given device are variable and it is pos

Other 2000 series controllers (i.e. controllers without the f suffix) cannot be converted to PROFIBUS-DP comms, since a different microprocessor board is required.

2408f & 2404f PROFIBUS Communications Handbook Controller Set Up & Network Configuration NETWORK CONFIGURATION Having wired and configured the controller, the master PLC or PC based supervisory package must be configured to set-up the parameters that it will be able to read and write to. This is known as ‘network configuration’. The network is configured by importing ‘GSD’ files into your Master PROFIBUS network configuration software: This should

Controller Set Up & Network Configuration 2408f & 2408f PROFIBUS Communications Handbook PROFIBUS DIAGNOSTICS One of the features of PROFIBUS-DP is that high priority diagnostic information is provided for each slave. The 2400 f Series uses the ‘Ext_Diag_Data’ area of this message (bytes 7 and 8) to send a word containing 16 bits of information pertaining to the process and alarm status of the controller: The documentation supplied with your master sho

The GSD file is imported into a PROFIBUS Master which in turn produces a file that is downloaded into the PLC or supervisory package. It works on the ‘dra

The Windows Configurator 2408f & 2404f PROFIBUS Communications Handbook To add a parameter to the PROFIBUS-DP Input Data, simply drag it from the Device Parameter list using the mouse, and drop it into the Inputs list. Similarly, drop a parameter into the Outputs list to set PROFIBUS-DP Output Data. Alternatively, double click on a parameter name to add it to the currently selected window - select the list by clicking on

2408f & 2404f PROFIBUS Communications Handbook Demand Data CHAPTER 7 DEMAND DATA The GSD file is used to define those parameters which need to be updated continuously. It is, therefore, a convenient way to transfer input and output data between the controller and the master PLC or Supervisory Computer. It is, however, wasteful in comms bandwidth if, for example: 1. It is used to read or write to occas
